line of graceful, barefoot women follow

stony path, carrying baskets. These were
tea pluckers on their way to 1.-The store, -
a large building which is the storehouse
or barn Of the plantation. There, after
each woman or child's ingathering is
weighed and the amount credited to her,
the leaves are spread upon the garrett floor
to wither. Next they are taken to a long
table which has a beautiful polish and is
stained to a lovely mahogany by tea juice.
A row OF men stan On each side OF the
table. The withered leaves are brought
down from the garnet and distributed in
piles, a pile for each two opposite work
ers. Then they begin a long, monoto-
mons, perpetual kneading roll. You
would think it is nothing TO do, but the
same muscles are exercised, of the back
as they bend from side to side and of the
arms ana hands as they manipulate the

Every few moments they take up the

leaves may not be clogged together. 1

made it plain. When they have rolled it
long enough the whole is mixed together

they knead it much harder. There are
